Rasidha Bidadari Clear-eyed
Chapter 10 - Accepting the past
On that day, Zaid was allowed to go home by a doctor, given his excellent condition. It turned out that he only wanted an apology from his daughter that became a burden of the mind to make her condition drop. Everyone began to breathe with relief, the worries that had been enveloping the heart and also the mind instantly disappeared, slowly, and also the relationship of Zaid and Rasidha back together as usual.
Inside the room, two families were gathered because of Zaid's condition, which had to be bed rested for a full day. Now there was only a joking laugh from them, considering the eyes of Saints, Azzam and Rasidha were swollen from mostly crying.
"Well, this is the first time I've seen my cousin Azzam cry, it looks so bad." Cibir Ayna who laughs with satisfaction, while taking a picture of her male cousin. Age is not much different, only a few months away.
"How many times have I warned you not to take pictures of me," the Azzam circus that does not accept everyone's plaything.
"You won't be able to fight me from childhood until now, I always win from you and also a great runner." Ayna laughed again when she managed to make her cousin upset, that's what they used to do as children
"I don't want to go after a woman like you, who is very strange and barbaric. I'm pretty sure how dizzy uncle and aunt have kids like you."
"Let it be my business" retorted Ayna who did not want to budge.
Aisha, Suci, Doni, and Zaid laughed at the behavior of their children. "You don't keep fighting, do you want me to marry you."
"Abi, don't say that when I was fifteen. Marry her? That is impossible, of course I have the criteria of my dream man who will become my husband." Rejecting Ayna raw made Doni chuckle.
"Well, it looks like Ayna doesn't want you, Azzam." Tempta Zaid who bertos ria with his brother-in-law.
"What are you really? Do you think I want to marry you? No. gabe. I'd rather run away and fast for a whole month than marry a weird girl like you."
"Of course, you're teenagers. Don't act like a kid who's just eight years old. Uncle Zaid has just recovered, and don't let it be because hearing the noise of your quarrels will take him back to the hospital." Aisyah tried to stop by mediating the debate.
Suci shook his head to see the behavior of his son and nephew, who always made a riot by enlivening the atmosphere of family warmth. She smiled at her husband and also her eldest son who had improved with the bitter circumstances and reality. "Alhamdulillah I really like it if you make up with the situation in the past, from now on your father no longer needs to use a turban to cover his face."
"But what happened? Why did you cover your face with a turban? Are you afraid that there are other women who seduce you?" sela Azzam who still can not digest what happened, it makes the four adults laugh with innocence from teenage men.
"Maybe, no one can stand to see your father's charm." Reply to Zaid who is bragging.
"Ck, even that arrogance doesn't disappear from you. Remember your age now and multiply reading istighfar, do not make yourself as a jahiliah." Cetus Doni advised his sister-in-law, a trait that would come out if they gathered.
Zaid pointed out his five fingers as a sign that he did not want to hear any further from his brother-in-law's words. "I know you're the son-in-law of the great kyai Baharuddin, keep your advice."
"What is my fault? I'm just reminding you, I want if we're neighbors in heaven."
"Just up to you, brother-in-law. Why do you like a guy like him?" said Zaid who stared at the husband and wife pair nearby in turn.
Aisyah seemed timid, how the Doni she so easily conquered while working in the company of the late Zufar, the ex-Holy husband managed by her husband. The introduction of two very different people of character, and even opposite each other.
The two men showed their childish side when they gathered, but not in front of everyone like a leader who looks arrogant and disciplined.
"But it wasn't easy, when Aisyah gave me the saray before the wedding - memorizing the thirty juz drove me almost crazy. It's a good thing Rasidha became my savior and he's already I consider my own son." The bright Doni who smiled as he pointed at his nephew.
"Don't overdo it, it's Uncle who's trying so hard to get an aunt. Is that what you call true love?" said Rasidha who did not understand the word.
"Is there a guy you like in the pesantren?" ask Zaid who doesn't like it and starts to become so possessive of his daughter.
"I'm just asking" said Rasidha, he knew how his father's character was.
"Your father is so, so please understand." Sela Doni's.
"Is Rasidha going back to the pesantren or here?" ask Aisyah.
"Of course, I miss the pesantren a lot and will study for three months." Reply Rasidha very excitedly.
"But most of what you've learned has already been studied in Cairo, you'd better take a higher course." Aisha drew her attention to the nephew.
"Mother doesn't forbid you to learn, but don't repeat the lessons you already understand. Learn knowledge that you do not understand to facilitate in the future, God willing." Suci who tries to direct her son.
"Okay ma'am, I'll study for a month and go back to my education."
"But, where will you continue your studies?" sela Ayna was very curious.
"I haven't thought about it."
"But, do not take a university abroad. It was very troublesome, let alone Brother being sick. Who's gonna look after brother in the land of people?" sewot Ayna was approved by Azzam.
"Choose according to your heart's wishes, lest you regret it later and decide midway."
"Yes ma'am, I must have remembered Mom's words."
After making sure everything was safe and there was nothing to pay attention to, Rasidha and his uncle's family immediately said goodbye to return to the boarding school.
It was hard enough for Suci to let her eldest son go, especially when she drove her son to the airport who decided to study in Cairo. "You're all careful, and don't forget to read the bismillah before you go."
"Yes" said those who got into the car. Suci waved her hand and immediately wiped away the tears of haru, now she could breathe a sigh of relief as the child and her husband had already forgiven each other. "Other thing I want besides this? All the problems of the past have been solved very well, and I wish Rasidha to be a sholehah woman and also insightful."
